Steve Reed, of the Gaston Gazette, reports Carolina Panthers WR Josh Davis (appendix) underwent an appendectomy and will be out for some time. He is not expected to make the final roster but could end up on the team's practice squad.

Pat Yaskinas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports the Carolina Panthers worked out WRs Josh Davis (Vikings) and Brandon Rideau (Browns) Tuesday, Sept. 12. While the two are considered emergency options at the position in case of any injuries to the current depth chart, the reason for the workout was to have receivers for free agent QB Drew Henson (Cowboys) to throw to during his evaluation.
